A quiet week lies ahead in Australia with few standouts. But the latest resources forecasts from the Office of the
Chief Economist are due by the end of the month together with the final Budget figures for 2014/15.
In Australia, the week kicks off on Monday with the latest CommBank Business Sales index a measure of
economy-wide spending.
The focus is on US housing data over the week while the results of the Greek election will filter through on
Monday.
In the US, the week kicks off on Monday with data on existing home sales. Economists expect that home sales
eased by around 1.5 per cent in the month.
